Chapter 95

Lu Shiyu couldn't help but panic, but was quickly suppressed by reason.

calm.

If she got separated from the others, they should have discovered her quickly. Besides, there was nothing to hide in the sea of flowers, so even if they got separated, they would not be completely unable to see each other.

Lu Shiyu tried hard to adjust his mentality and focus on thinking about the problem.

When did she separate from her teammates? It's unclear; she just kept walking, and when she realized it, she was alone.

As she walked along, she looked around. There were mountains and trees in the distance, and only endless flowers around her. A thin layer of mist appeared on the sea of flowers at some point. In fact, this mist did not affect her vision much. It was about the same as the fog in the morning, and it just looked a little gray.

Lu Shiyu took a deep breath and shouted to the empty space around him: "Is anyone there?"

“Is anyone there——————?”

“Is anyone there——?”

"Is anyone there..."

The echo came again and again, but no one responded to her, as if she was the only one left in the world.

Lu Shiyu was a little discouraged. She wanted to look for the others, but she didn't know which direction to go. It seemed that everywhere looked the same. At the same time, she was worried about what would happen if she went in the wrong direction and happened to pass by others.

At this time, the water on the ground had reached the ankles. Soaking in water for a long time would accelerate the loss of heat, causing the body temperature to drop and hypothermia. In addition, there was occasional wind blowing. When walking, Yu's upper body was not in big trouble because he had put on an extra piece of clothing, but the part below his legs was already frozen stiff.

Lu Shiyu has begun to hallucinate that his legs are zombie flesh that was frozen from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Qing Dynasty.

"No, we can't wait here for them to come looking for us."

On the way, I shook my head and forced myself to cheer up.

Lu Shiyu picked a flower, randomly selected a direction by pulling the petals, then rolled up his trouser legs and walked in that direction.

Halfway through the journey, Lu Shiyu seemed to hear some sound coming from afar. Thinking that it might be Tang Zeyu and others, Lu Shiyu's pupils lit up slightly and he ran quickly towards the source of the sound.

But when she arrived, she was dumbfounded.

How can these be human beings? They are clearly a group of mummies!

Lu Shiyu watched as several human-like creatures approached this side. Those things had human shapes, but were as white as empty shells. There was not a trace of extra flesh on their bodies. They were completely skin and bones after being sucked dry. Lu Shiyu guessed that there was a 90% probability that these were some kind of deformed creatures hiding in the sea of flowers. He immediately squatted down and hid in the flowers, took off his backpack and put it aside to avoid being discovered by those deformed creatures.

The deformed creatures were covered with the same flowers as the white snake. The flowers bloomed brightly on their bodies, and it was obvious that they were well cared for and had plenty of nutrition.

In contrast, the host being parasitized has become as dry as it can be, even drier than the bacon that has been hanging in front of Lu Shiyu's grandmother's house for more than a month.

Lu Shiyu looked at the deformed humanoid creatures that kept standing up from the water. Although they had human appearance, they walked like puppets, just like the zombies with inconvenient legs in the movies.

As I was walking, I counted them one by one, and the more I counted, the more frightened I became.

Why so many?

If it were just a few, it would be fine, but where did these increasing numbers of deformed creatures come from? Had they been hiding underwater all along?

Lu Shiyu didn't even dare to breathe deeply, for fear that these deformed creatures would notice something.

Seeing that these deformed creatures did not do anything except walking around aimlessly after standing up, Lu Shiyu quietly touched the backpack beside him, thinking of leaving stealthily without disturbing them.

Lu Shiyu was lying among the flowers, quietly bypassing those deformed creatures. Just as he was about to get away from the center where they were gathered, he suddenly felt something under his feet.

Lu Shiyu looked down and unfortunately, she stepped on the face of a deformed creature that had not yet stood up.

The deformed creature that was stepped on opened its eyes, but before it could figure out what was going on, Lu Shiyu cut its neck with a dagger.

Lu Shiyu originally thought it would be difficult, but when he actually cut it, it was extremely smooth, and he felt almost no resistance. It was as easy as cutting wheat.

The deformed creature's head moved, and Lu Shiyu thought that this would be safe. Who knew that it was still "alive" even though its head and body were separated? It opened its mouth in Lu Shiyu's astonished eyes and made a shrill cry, forcing Lu Shiyu to cover his ears.

The movement here immediately attracted the attention of other deformed creatures. Seeing that the deformed creatures were all looking towards this side, it was impossible to sneak away without attracting attention. Lu Shiyu threw the bag on his back, stomped on the head of the deformed creature on the ground, and rushed forward like a small cannonball.

Now all the deformed creatures noticed her and drove their uncoordinated bodies to chase after Lu Shiyu, the flowers on their bodies trembling with their movements.

As she was walking, she glanced at the gradually growing crowd behind her. Wherever she passed, deformed creatures kept rising slowly from the flowers and then joined the team chasing her. After running for a while, the team had grown into a huge crowd, so huge that those who didn't know would think they were running a marathon.

Lu Shiyu was already extremely tired, breathing heavily, and her strength began to decline, causing her speed to gradually slow down. However, the group of deformed creatures behind her kept moving forward at the same steady speed, neither getting tired nor stopping, as if they would not give up until they caught her.

"Ha... Where on earth do all these deformed creatures come from?!"

They had never seen any of them in the flowers on the way here, but now so many of them suddenly appeared, as if they had appeared out of thin air.

Lu Shiyu's running speed gradually slowed down, and at the same time she thought of a problem.

Is this sea of flowers really that big?

Not to mention that she had already walked nearly half the distance before she got separated from the others. Now she had been running for so long without stopping in order to avoid those deformed creatures. Even if she couldn't cross the sea of flowers, she would not be unable to see the boundary of the sea of flowers.

As he was walking, Yu turned his head, but no matter where he looked, he could not see the edge of the sea of flowers. It was as if the mountains in the distance were just an illusion, and in fact the whole world was a sea of flowers, so no matter how he walked, he could not get out.

No, something's wrong.

Lu Shiyu stopped and turned around to look at the deformed creatures chasing him from behind.

She smelled the fragrance of flowers, but the flowers in this sea of flowers were not actually that fragrant. She could only smell it when she got close. This was what she discovered when she was picking flowers before.

At this moment, she was standing in the sea of flowers, and she could not smell the fragrance of the flowers at all because of the distance between her nose and the flowers.

A bold guess emerged in Lu Shiyu's mind.

Is the environment she is in now real?

All kinds of strange phenomena made Lu Shiyu flee in panic for his life, but after the fear, Lu Shiyu finally realized that something was wrong around him.

Faced with the deformed creatures so close, Lu Shiyu no longer ran away, but stood there waiting for them to pounce.

When the deformed creature opened its mouth wide and pounced on her, Lu Shiyu even felt as if she could smell the stench emanating from it, and seemed to see the maggots wriggling on its body.

Fake! All fake!

Lu Shiyu closed his eyes tightly and told himself that everything he saw was not real.

Countless humanoid deformed creatures swarmed towards Lu Shiyu, surrounding her like ants hunting a caterpillar, baring their fangs and claws as if they wanted to tear her apart and turn her into their own food.

But the expected pain of being bitten did not appear. Lu Shiyu only felt a faint tingling sensation all over his body.

Lu Shiyu suddenly opened her eyes and found herself lying on the ground, with water covering half of her body. If the water level was higher, she might have choked to death.

The tingling sensation in his body had not yet stopped. Lu Shiyu sat up from the flowers and lowered his head to check the painful area.

The white roots pierced her skin and were wriggling, trying to squeeze more of them in.

Lu Shiyu quickly pulled out all the roots on his body and threw them on the ground, leaving blood holes on his body. Blood dripped into the water. The roots of the flowers growing in the water became more active after feeling the blood.

However, Lu Shiyu didn't have time to care about those things now. He anxiously lowered his head to look for something and soon found several other people lying in the flowers.

Several people fell in the flowers. Although they were unconscious, their bodies were tense. One could tell from their expressions that they had slept uneasily, and their furrowed brows indicated that they were in a very bad condition.

What's more troublesome is that the roots have spread to several people, and some of them have already taken over.

Without time to think, Lu Shiyu hurried over, pulled off the roots on several people, and tried to wake them up from their coma.

"Yanhong! Yanhong, wake up!"

"Shaoxing Yang! Chen Yunliang! Can you hear me?"

But no matter how Lu Shiyu shook, none of them showed any sign of waking up.

Lu Shiyu turned in front of Tang Zeyu, but it was no use even if he leaned over to shout in her ear or pulled her face hard.

After Lu Shiyu dared to walk for a while, he forced himself to calm down and began to recall how he woke up.

She had already guessed that what she saw was fake and had completed the verification, so she woke up.

Does it mean that it’s like a dream, where you have to realize that it’s fake?

However, the unconscious person probably couldn't hear what she was saying now, and she wasn't sure if she could wake him up with any external force.

Is it really true that we can only wait for them to discover it themselves?

*

Tang Zeyu chopped the humanoid deformed creature into several pieces and found that it could still move. He couldn't help but be surprised by the tenacity of life of this deformed creature.

"Is it because the body is made of plants that it can't die?"

Tang Zeyu kicked away the severed hand that was trying to grab his foot. On the cross section of the struggling severed hand, there were countless roots like blood vessels wriggling inside, like overflowing life.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Tang Zeyu felt no wavering in his heart. He just wanted to find the other people as soon as possible.

Yan Hong and Shao Xingyang are fine, as they have no problem protecting themselves with their abilities. Although Chen Yunliang is not very good at fighting, he has experience.

What he was most worried about was Lu Shiyu. Not to mention that Lu Shiyu had no weapons to show off, only a dagger given by Yan Hong. Lu Shiyu himself had never participated in a battle, so the best solution when encountering trouble was to hide and run.

But he walked for a long time and still didn't see Lu Shiyu. He didn't know if he had hidden himself or if it was another situation...

Tang Zeyu shook his head. Now was not the time to think too much. The most urgent thing was to find Lu Shiyu and the others, gather together as soon as possible and leave here.

Tang Zeyu was just about to leave when suddenly a pair of flawless white and slender hands hugged him from behind. The palms moved down his shoulders to his chest, and the whole person pressed against Tang Zeyu's back.

"Captain Tang, I'm so scared."
